A man walks into a conference room at the W hotel in downtown Austin. The setting, sleek and quiet, says business. The training shoes—red, puffy, and paired with a sports coat—add a wink: new business.
" There are crazy awesome start-ups happening in every nook and cranny in this country," says Scott Case, the boss of a non-profit startup, which helps inexperienced entrepreneurs by smoothing their access to private-sector money and mentoring. The idea is that as these young companies grow, they will create jobs—new jobs, good jobs—and related economic activity that enriches the entire community. Some of the start-ups may even be "gazelles" , companies that grow by leaps and bounds.
So people are keen to help. Obama announced a start-up initiative at the beginning of last year, and last month he renewed the call. Congress is considering a Start-up Act that could provide some regulatory exemptions. Regional economic development groups have taken up the idea of economic "gardening" . The philosophy there is that regions should focus on core strengths and home-grown businesses, rather than squabbling with their neighbours in an effort to win a new car plant.
This is mostly sensible. Many of the proposals for start-ups are generally sound. And some start-ups do turn out to be gazelles.
Still, there is cause for caution. For one thing, there is some ambiguity over what sort of companies the policymakers are trying to promote. Mr. Obama talks about "start-ups and small businesses" . Private-sector people, however, seem to have less interest in the latter. They would rather live in Silicon Valley than on Main Street. But high-tech concepts are not the only viable business ideas.
Another issue is that the effects of start-ups on employment may be modest. Perhaps as a result of the recession, the number of new companies that actually employ people is declining.
" What began as a small, two-person start-up working out of a pier in San Francisco has grown to a dozen employees," wrote Mike Krieger, the co-founder of America’s fastest-growing social mobile start-up. Even the bigger companies may not be labour-intensive. There is a danger that start-up jobs will be the next variant of "green jobs" : worthwhile, but slightly
overhyped
.
Judging from the context, the word "overhyped" in the last paragraph means______.
选项
A、polluted
B、profitable
C、overstated
D、adventurous
答案
C
解析
含义题。根据题干定位至最后一段。结合上下文猜测生词含义。首先,but表明overhyped与worthwhile意义相反,因此不可能是profitable。其次,the next variant of“green jobs”,且总体上是worthwhile(值得的),因此不可能是polluted与adventurous。考生也可根据构词法选择答案。over-前缀表示more than usual,too much(太,过于),state有“陈述”之意,那么overstated意为“言过其实的,夸张的”,带入文中符合文意,因此选C项。
